The sun has barely risen over the mountains that shelter Royal Caribbean's private resort of Labadee. Yet, Liberty of the Seas is already tied up to the pier and disembarking passengers for a day at the resort's beaches and other atractions.

The pier at Labadee closes off most of a bay. Liberty has docked on the seaward side of the pier. As a result, fleetmate Legend of the Seas has to sail around Liberty in order to berth on the landward side of the pier.
